Abstract
A plurality of load bar assemblies (14) are connected between a supported structure (10) and a supporting structure (12) for determining an amount of load in the supported structure. Each load bar assembly includes a load bar (20) having a middle portion (22) connected with the supported structure and end portions (24, 26) connected by load bar mounting assemblies (34) with the supported structure. Each load bar mounting assembly includes a fulcrum member (50) which supports the load bar end portion on a fulcrumming surface (54). An elongated connecting structure (60) having an enlarged upper portion (64) extends through a load bar end portion aperture (32) and a fulcrum member aperture (56) and is connected with the supporting structure. An annular washer (72) and a tubular sleeve (74) of resilient material are disposed between the elongated connecting structure and the load bar end portion to allow limited movement therebetween.
